If Stargate were to come back in a decade or so, I would very much prefer a continuation rather than a reboot. In my opinion, the only reason to do a reboot is if they want to rehash the Gou'ald storyline. If they don't want to do that, they can continue Stargate with the story they want to tell, but keeping the prior canon intact. After all, Stargate Command will presumably go on with its business for the foreseeable future.
How about a new series where the existence of the Stargate is revealed to the public? That should be different enough to give the series a new direction. As it is, it seems difficult to keep the Stargate secret. NASA's rockets would be pointless if you have alien technology. If we want a communications satellite, we should be able to place it within hours with the technology that the SGA has.
Then there is medical tech. At some point, the health benefit is so great that it isn't worth keeping it secret. The sarcophagi may cause some mental changed, but Daniel only had these effects after repeated exposure over a long period of time, and he shook it off pretty quickly. Imagine a hospital with row after row of sarcophagi?
So, I could see maybe in 2020, a continuation series, but dealing not only with what goes on in space, but with the changes the alien tech makes on Earth.
